Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain has recently been in the news due to rumours that the show might go off air. These talks started after reports about issues related to the channel &TV. However, actor Aasif Sheikh, who plays Vibhuti Narayan Mishra in the show, has now clarified the situation.
In a conversation with Variety India, Aasif Sheikh confirmed that the show is not ending but will be moved to an OTT platform. He said, “Yes, Bhabiji is being moved to the OTT platform of Z5. This is what all of us (the cast and crew) knows. I am unaware of the media reports going around currently but we were informed of the shift to the digital platform a month back.”
Earlier, he had also shared his thoughts about this change. He said, “I am cool with the show being shifted to a streaming platform. This is the future of viewing. What is important is that people are watching the show. Nowadays, people work long hours and also commute a lot for travel. Mobile screens make their favorite shows more accessible to them as per their convenience.”
The show is one of the most popular comedy programs in India and has a large fan base. Recently, the team also came together for a spin off film titled Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain: Fun on the Run. The film brings the same characters from the show into a new story and format.
This film is directed by Shashank Bali and is set to release on the OTT platform ZEE5 on April 3. It was earlier released in theatres on February 6 and will now be available for viewers to watch online.
The show Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain first aired on &TV on March 2, 2015. Over the years, it has gained a strong following and has also been available on ZEE5, which helped it reach more viewers. The show is inspired by the 1990s sitcom Shrimaan Shrimati.
Its popularity also led to the launch of a spin off show called Happu Ki Ultan Paltan in 2019.
Overall, while there were concerns about the show going off air, the latest update confirms that it will continue on a digital platform, allowing fans to keep watching it in a new format.
